A fic for the @wordplayfics​ fics prompt: REDUCE. Thanks to everyone that bounced ideas with me and helped me figure this out. It’s not my favorite, but I hope you enjoy nonetheless. Thanks everyone!

Harry always has an obsession. When he gets into recycling and then onto saving the world, Louis thought it was just another phase. Except it wasn’t. It continues month after month, the list of rules growing as Harry involves himself in groups and friends with the same extreme outlook.

Louis is helpless to watch it all happen, trying to support, but ultimately on the sidelines of it all. It continues until tensions boil over the night before the annual Earth Day party. It’s now Harry’s favorite holiday, and his attempts to make it perfect only push Louis further away. Louis tries his best to cope but loses it at the worst possible moment, leaving only emptiness behind.  

Or the one where Harry wants to save the world but loses sight of who’s been right in front of him all along
